hi folks, Exactly my thoughts also. In Quebec we need to this information to find where some of the families immigrated. After the 1850s, French Canadians immigrated west to Ontario and much more to the New England textile industry. Very little has been done concerning Illinois. It was by joining the St Anne groupe that I discovered this fairly considerable migration. When I joined the group, I made an offer which still open.If you have a couple, husband and wife, and need a marriage in Quebec, let me know and I will try to find the act. I must limit my offer to marriage acts as other BS research would use up too much time which I need for my own projects. Incidently I have just about enough information on the Saga of St Anne book, would appreciate if someone could give me the postal address of the author. the rep in Quebec Marcel Benoit ---------- > From: VCrawf@aol.com > To: ILSTANNE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [ILSTANNE] Indiana Databases > Date: March 20, 2000 10:47 PM > > In a message dated 3/20/2000 12:18:49 PM Pacific Standard Time, > NiteOwl226@aol.com writes: > > << We may be able to trace amost ALL of the early St Anne families.
